Continuous Linkage Projects

Since 1 July 2016, applications for the Linkage Projects scheme can be submitted at any time.

The continuous application cycle will allow a closer connection between proposal submission and outcome announcement.

This helps industry and business to collaborate more readily on high quality proposals, particularly with regard to budget and planning, and will assist in boosting the commercial returns of publicly-funded research.

Following a rigorous assessment process high-quality proposals will be expedited to the Minister for decision.
